Hotel Aluxor SFO, Sapphire Boutique Collection

Good value for money, clean and large room close-ish to the airport. The free shuttle was very handy but it’s limited in operating hours for pickup at each terminal to the hotel and from the hotel to the airport (which you must pre book at the hotel for seats back to the airport). See attached image for shuttle schedule as of Nov 2024. There is also free coffee and tea in the lobby starting at 4 am to noon-ish. As for food there are many options nearby; directly behind the hotel 1-2 blocks away is a Main Street with many local eateries, small ethnic grocery stores, a Starbucks and an F45/boxing studio. And immediately across the street is a Wendy’s. Front desk staff was just so so, nothing special but also not offensive.

Basic close-to-the-airport hotel. Not really close to anything else. Rooms were a fair size for the price. Minimum amenities, but there was a shuttle that was free. Planes weren’t too loud in the room. I’d book again if I needed to.

I spent the night here on a stopover on my way from the east coast to Shanghai. This hotel has been recently renovated completely. I had a very good experience. The service was helpful and let me switch rooms and I overheard them helping another customer who accidentally booked the wrong night and they were competent and accommodating. The room was well appointed, with many details like wireless charging shelves near the bed stands and a good coffee machine in the room. The bed was amazing. Perfect mattress, pillows I was tempted to “borrow” and soft bed linens. The area has a wide range of interesting restaurants to choose from and with the free shuttle to SFO, this is an ideal affordable choice for a stopover.
